Power Force Volleyball Club will offer two programs in the 2011-2012 season: The Club Program and The High Performance Team Program. The Club Program is for players to further develop their skills and prepare them for High School and High-Performance teams. The High Performance Program is for skilled players and players that are dedicated to achieving a higher level of play. Teams in the High Performance Program may travel out of state to compete in inter-regional tournaments. PFVC will determine which tournaments each team will enter.
For the 2011-2012 season we will be holding practices once again at Wilsonville High School and surrounding Wilsonville schools.

Tournament days and times:
Most tournaments are held on the weekends. The coaches meeting usually starts at 7:30 am. First matches are scheduled at 8:00 am. Tournaments begin with pool play, followed by bracket play. For example, if there are 8 teams, they will be split into two pools of four teams. Each team will play the other three team in the pool. Using the win-loss record and other means in cases of a tie, they will be ranked 1 to 4. The top 2 teams will play in the championship bracket, and the bottom 2 will play in the consolation bracket. Final matches will usually start sometime between 4:30 and 5:30 pm.
